Let Her Rip!-That Ordinance Abost
Trees.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
That is an important matter to which
our City Engineer called attention in
his annual report, recently published
viz, the supervision Of trees and tree
planting on the streets. Permit two
cases in point There is fine young
tree in front Of my residence, which |
set out and boxed at cost of 80. 1t
has become diseased, and unless it re-
ceives proper attention soon it will per-
ish. But | am forbidden to touch it,
and from Colonel Cutshaw's report L
infer that he has no special authority
for doctoring it or fund out
of which to provide relief. My neigh
Dor has vigorous sappling at his gate,
but, like other young things, it istrying
to have its own way and is getting out
of shape. Proposing recently to saw
off an ugly limb. he was warned that
unless he had a lefty permit he
would be reported and possibly fined.
"Well, then" said he, "Let her rip! "
These are not exceptional cases. They
occur all over town. Our benign gov
eminent reminds one of the dog in the
manger, who would not eat the straw
himself, neither would he allow the OK
to eat it.
We may go to trouble and expense
to render our homes comfortable and
to adorn our surroundings, but when
that is done we are not allowed to put
forth an effort TO protect what we have
planted or to save the money we have
invested. "Get a permit. " Few will
take that trouble or possibly risk hui
initiating refusal. Fewer still will con-
tinue to spend their money on city pro-
perry.
do not know who had the existing
law enacted. We know that it gives
much cause OF complaint and is con-
demned by the City Engineer. VIII
not Captain Guy let up on the Coroner,
and come to the relief OF the trees and
the citizens to whom they rightiully
belong? Away with the law, and do
what Colonel Cutshaw asks.

Gentlemen here to-day who see Gen
eral Malone frequently say he seems TO
be perfectly confident of securing a
majority in the Virginia Legislature at
next falls election, and Of returning TO
the United States Senate AZ Mr.. Rid
dleberGer's successor - Washington
ietfer-Aiexondrfa Gaset;e.
And he is the same General MALONE
who few days before the presidential
election Of 1880 assured his friends in
writing that he was confident of the
success Of his electoral ticket, and
found after the votes had been counted
that that ticket had received but 81, 527
out OF 2ll.6l5. Whatever else he may
be, General MALONE is certainly not a
prophet.

Tho pcmocr.t. snd the Debt.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The ethics Of the Virginia State-dcbt
question has passed beyond the horizon
of political debate. From the year
1871 to the year 1882 the Democratic
party of. Virginia, under the alias oil
the Conservative party, champloned the
moralities and staked upon its cham
pionship-its effective political exist
ence-all its hopes for power IN the
State.
On the 25th day of July, 1888, at q
convention in Lynchburg, the Demo
cratic party surrendered to superior
numbers and resources, and paroled it.
self from further political warfare on
the debt question by solemnly promis-
ing to go home and obey and fulfil the
laws of the State respecting the debt
embodied in the Riddleberger act
and the coupon-killers then in force.
The Republican party, scorning and
soothing at the promise, recognized
and ridiculed the surrender, but o ma
jority of the voters OF Virginia at the
general election in November, 1888, ac-
cepted the parole and restored the
Democratic party to political power
As soon as possible the Legislature as
sembled, and on the 21st day OF Decem.
Der. 1883, both houses, after an apollo
getic preamble, solemnly resolved:
~. That the people OF Virginia have accepted
the act OF February IA, 1892, known as the Rid
dleberger bill, ~ tho ultimate settlement Of
the debt OF this state; that IL Is their unaltera
BILE purpose that that settlement shall be FINAL
and that any expectation TINT any settle
ment Of the debt OF this state upon AM
other basis win ever DO made or tolerated b.
the people Of Virginia is absolutely illusor!
and hopeless"
Thus the Democrats of the Genera
Assembly gracefully returned thanks tc
the people for recognition and accept
ance of their parole.
Therefore, / say again, that the ethics
of the Virginia State-debt question il
outside the horizon of political debate

Judge GooLMox's suggestion that
the Democrats ought to make the cleo
ton of next fall contest between Ma
HONE and BARBOUR for the United
States Senate would, if adopted, render
it impossible for Mr.. BARBOUR 10 con-
tinue at the head of the Democratic
State Executive Committee. Besides,
it might cool the ardor of some OF the
gentlemen whose names have been
mentioned in connection with the sena.
torsbip. These two are all-sufiicient
reasons for not adopting Judge Cool.
mcK's "plan of battle" which, prima
tacie, is one well calculated TO secure
approval.

To The Editor OF the Dispatch:
1.-TWO persons have taken the trouble.
The point we made-and the
only one-was that he had to cross the
river and take another roLd. "-Rich-
mOnd Dispatch, Narch 22d.
Now, there The point you made
was that the route referred to was not
an all-rail route, because river without
bridge had to be crossed. Is there an
all-rail route from Richmond to New
York -? In this case, however, instead
of crossing the river and taking another
road it is necessary to take another road
and cross the river. The difference is
of great importance as to which comes
first-the crossing the river or the
taking another road.

Tho New south.

We have received from the Manufac-
turersi Record Company, Baltimore,
Md, The New South, by NJ. B. HILL
YARD, being "a description of the
southern States, noting each separately
and giving their distinctive features
and most salient characteristics" The
volume comprises some 500 pages, is
printed on fine paper, and is elegantly
bound. It's contents in every respect
fulfil the promises of its title-page. The
New South is q most valuable book.
The author has done his work tho
roughly, and presents to the public a
mine of information bearing upon the
agricultural, mineral, and industrial
wealth and development of this section.
Nothing, it appears, which would seem
to come properly within the scope OF
such book has been neglected.

West virginia's Senator.

n nbsnluStpu ioteSi S'"sN' 'i,''~ -
onel BusHRop PRlcE, of Marshall coun-
ty. West Virginia, member OF the
Senate Of his State, and one OF the
Democratic kickeps who defeated the
reelection Of United States Senator
CAMDEN at the recent session OF the
Legislature, says the extra session that
has been called will certainly elect a
senator, and that its choice will not be
Mr.. LUCAS, who has been appointed
senator by Governor WILSON.
Colonel PRICE, who, by the way,
must be q very old man, no doubt
speaks for majority of the members
of the West Virginia Legislature. 1t
is not reasonable to suppose that they
will be willing to refuse to conform to
the requirements OF the Federal Con-
stitution which provides as to United
States senators that "if vacancies hap
pen, by resignation or otherwise, du-
ring the recess of the Legislature OF
any State, the Executive thereof may
make temporary appointments until the
merit meeting OF the Legislature, which
shall then fill such vacancies.
1t is clearly the duty OF the Legisla-
ture to elect at its "next meeting -
not at the next regular session. The
section of the State Constitution which
provides that at an extra session the
Legislature shall consider only such
subjects as the Governor calls its stten-
ton to is absolutely worthless in the
presence of the provision quoted above
from the Federal Constitution.
It's also contended by some that as
no United States senator has ever been
elected to succeed CAMDEN, there IS no
"vscancy that the Governor has a
right TO fill. But this contention was,
in 1879, in the case of Mr.. BELL, Of
New Hampshire, decided by the United
States Senate itself TO be wrong. Chief
Justice TANEY was quoted in the mi
nority report in Mr.. BELLS case, which
report was adopted by the United States
Senate, as saying that the word chap
pen meant " happen to exist" So the
Governor can fill vacancy of that kind
that "happens to exist" during recess
of the Legislature. But the Governor
of West Virginia basalready appointed
q senator. And new question will
arise in case the Legislature refuses or
fails to elect at its extra session-name-
ly, whether the term of Mr.. LUCAS ex-
PRED with tho adjournment OF the
Legislature, and if so whether the Gov
ernor can again appoint that is,
whether he can appoint new senator
after the Legislature has had second
chance to elect and failed to do so, or
whether his first appointment will hold
good.
The Lucas men among the Demo
Gratis in the Legislature do not number
a dozen, we suppose The Republi-
cans will not support him. The CAM
DIN men as well as the Republicans
will vote in favor of electing United
States senator. The Constitution OF
the United States and law OF Con
gress require senator to be elected.
We take it for granted, therefore, that
the General Assembly will refuse to
adjourn before the second Tuesday
after its meeting, and will at least try
TO elect senator. II the task shall
appear to be hopeless, the members
will then be justified in adjourning
without having chosen United States

SOUTHERN PINES.

Your correspondent visited this new
winter resort yesterday with Mr.. Frank
w. Clark, of the Seaboard road, a gen.
tleman who certainly merits mention
for his work for the development of
North Carolina ever since the days of
the Boston Exposition. The town OF
Southern Pines has ended its days as q
chrysalis and is becoming quite but
terhy. All the people who can well be
accommodated are either there or en-
roa,tc, and the place gets generous
praise for its beneficial qualities. The
discovery of such resort will be appre-
ciated by Virginians as well as northern
people. There are three hotels, one
iust completed, and one with 150
or 200 rooms will be begun in a
very little while. The site for this
IVES chosen yesterday. Bishop Lyman
goes to "Ihe Pines" quite soon to
establish an Episcopal church. People
are there from all the northern States.
Some pretty cottages, all in the north.
crn style. adorn the place. Every
thing that public and private enter
prise and the railways can do for the
place will be done, and all the world
knows the results OF such works these
DAYS. The claim is made fairly and
squarely that the locality is the most
absolutely healthfnl in these United
States. 1t is really quite part of the
latter-day development Of North Caro-
lima, which is now shown in every di-
rection. The place is sixty-seven miles
from this city, in Moore county.
There are all around it long-leaf pines
for miles upon miles. The soil is snow
white sand.
